Outpatient Rehab for Drugs and Alcohol
Los Angeles residents live busy lifestyles with hectic schedules filled with work, traffic, and family commitments. Living with an active drug or alcohol addiction can add more chaos to day-to-day life, leaving many wondering about a way to quit their use of drugs or alcohol while still maintaining their prior commitments and responsibilities. Outpatient rehab provides individuals with a flexible option to addiction treatment that will invite them to participate in the highly effective, evidence-based addiction therapy methods offered. During outpatient addiction treatment, they will still have the freedom to return home each night to attend to their work and family commitments.
Living amid an active alcohol or drug addiction often feels like a lonely place. When you are struggling most and need to have the support of others to overcome your addiction, it can feel like you have no one to turn to. As your addiction progresses, many people will begin to isolate themselves from their friends and family to protect them from witnessing or experiencing the pain you are in and attempting to mask through substance abuse. Outpatient drug rehab will support patients in building a positive network of support through fellow patients within the program who understand the emotions and thoughts you are experiencing within your addiction and your journey to sobriety. Additionally, most outpatient drug and alcohol rehab programs will offer patients an opportunity to engage in family therapy sessions that will improve communication and rebuild their relationship to one that has trust, shared love, and respect for each other.
At Muse Treatment Center, we offer Los Angeles residents an outpatient addiction treatment program that utilizes the latest addiction therapy methods to move them towards a long-lasting lifestyle change to sobriety. We focus on developing an addiction treatment program based on therapy, case management, and a 12-step model, including alcoholics anonymous, to create a whole-person integrated approach to healing. Through individual, group, and family therapy sessions, patients will have the opportunity to dive deeper into the root causes of their addiction while gaining the knowledge and skills for relapse prevention to overcome future triggers and remain focused on their path to sobriety.
What Is Outpatient Rehab?
Outpatient rehab is an effective form of addiction treatment that provides patients with the same effective methods for addiction therapy you would receive in inpatient alcohol or drug rehab. It also provides a flexible schedule that allows you to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. Outpatient drug or alcohol rehab comes in various forms depending on your level of need and support. If you have been engaged in severe alcohol or drug addiction for long periods, the first step before outpatient rehab will be completing a medically supervised detox program where you can safely remove the physical dependence and harmful toxins from your body.
Choosing an outpatient rehab program is an appropriate option if you are dedicated and committed to attending the addiction recovery center and feel strong in your abilities to overcome environmental distractions and triggers. Going through the healing process of alcohol and drug addiction treatment will entail you processing the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors associated and linked to your addiction. It is strongly recommended that you have a solid foundation for support while moving through your addiction therapy program.
While attending the recovery center during the day, you will be connected with counselors and patients who will provide you the support you need as you integrate the new tools and lifestyle routines you learned in outpatient rehab into your day-to-day life. During this time, patients will often attend 12-step meetings or recovery support groups to help widen the scope of support they have. Outpatient rehab is unique as you can take what you have learned and immediately put your newly discovered tools to the test within your home environment while still receiving the ongoing support of addiction counselors.

PHP
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an option for Los Angeles residents that need the structured support of inpatient rehab will still be able to return home each evening. Patients are invited to attend the addiction treatment center six hours a day, five days a week. During your time at the addiction rehab center, you will engage in individual and group therapy sessions that will support you in healing from the underlying causes of addiction with the support of counselors and fellow patients.
Patients will have access to educational group sessions that will provide them with the knowledge and understanding of how their emotions and behaviors impact their addiction. With the support of counselors, you will gain perspective on how dependence has impacted your brain functioning and learn methods of overcoming triggers and stressors that arise within your day-to-day life through mindful and holistic therapeutic techniques.
IOP
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is an addiction treatment program that works with patients to identify milestones within their recovery they wish to meet and provide the appropriate level of support and therapy methods that will assist them in reaching their goals. As you begin to meet your milestones, your time commitment to outpatient rehab will be reduced as you develop a stronger foundation for sobriety.
An intensive outpatient program will invite patients to attend the addiction treatment center a few times a week for a minimum of two to three hours each day. During this time, patients will engage in individual therapy sessions, group educational processes that teach relapse prevention and life skill development skills and participate in 12-step recovery meetings. An intensive outpatient program supports patients in creating a new foundation in sobriety through comprehensive approaches to addiction treatment.
How Long Is Outpatient Rehab?
Outpatient rehab is a continuum of care, and the length of time you are in outpatient drug or alcohol rehab will depend on your level of need and support. Healing from addiction and living a healthy, stable life in recovery requires lifelong dedication and work to maintain sobriety. Patients will often begin in a partial hospitalization program (PHP) to have a more intensive rehab program then transition into an intensive outpatient rehab program. This process helps reduce the time you spend within rehab and allows patients more time to begin integrating the tools you have acquired within addiction treatment into their day-to-day lives. From there, patients will move into an aftercare program that can include transitioning into a sober living environment and attending recovery support groups such as 12-step meetings or SMART recovery meetings.
Benefits of Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient rehab is a flexible option that is bound to meet the requirements and needs of busy Los Angeles residents looking for therapeutic support in overcoming their drug and alcohol addiction. Addressing your substance abuse concerns through an addiction treatment program comes with many benefits, and an outpatient rehab provides patients with the following benefits and supports:
Flexibility
Outpatient rehab provides patients with a flexible option for addiction treatment as it allows you to create a schedule that works around your prior commitments. Knowing that your work and home life responsibilities are taken care of will enable you to fully engage in the therapeutic process. You can let go of the stress and worry about other aspects of your life having to be taken care of.
Building a solid foundation of support
Outpatient allows patients to connect with one another through group therapy and educational group processes. Building your sober community of others living in recovery will provide you with people you can lean on during hard days and people you can turn to when you want to have fun while being sober.
Affordability
Outpatient is a more affordable option for some individuals as the cost is lower due to you returning home each evening and reducing the costs of accommodations, food, and 24/7 care.
Access to family and natural supports
Having the ability to come to the addiction treatment center on your own schedule allows you more time to be with your family than leaving your family for a long time if you were to go to inpatient rehab.
